Effects of air-cooling turbine rotor blades on performance of a turbojet engine were calculated for a range of altitudes from sea level to 40,000 feet and a range of coolant flows up to 3 percent of compressor air flow, for two conditions of coolant bleed from the compressor. Bleeding at required coolant pressure resulted in a sea-level thrust reduction approximately twice the percentage coolant flow and in an increase in specific fuel consumption approximately equal to percentage coolant flow. For any fixed value of coolant flow ratio the percentage thrust reduction and percentage increase in specific fuel consumption decreased with altitude. Bleeding coolant at the compressor discharge resulted in an additional 1 percent loss in performance at sea level and in smaller increase in loss of performance at higher altitudes.

Memorandum presenting an investigation to determine the low-speed aerodynamic characteristics of a 45 degree swept wing with leading-edge inlets. The wing had a constant chord and completely spanned the wind tunnel. Results regarding surface-pressure characteristics, lift and pitching-moment characteristics, wake-drag characteristics, and internal-flow characteristics are provided.

The feasibility study of the Purex flowsheet in pulse column equipment has been completed in the ORNL Purex Pilot Plant. Eleven runs have been made in the pilot plant at a throughput of 75 kg to 125 kg of uranium per day.
